10. Care of Your Fan and Troubleshooting

Care of Your Fan

Here are some suggestions to help you

maintain your fan.

Because of the fan’s natural movement, 1.

some connections may become loose.

Check the support connections, brackets,

and blade attachments twice a year. Make

sure they are secure. (It is not necessary to

remove fan from ceiling.)

Clean your fan periodically to help maintain 2.

its new appearance over the years. Do not

use water when cleaning, this could damage

the motor, or the wood or possibly cause

an electrical shock. Use only a soft brush

or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the

nish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer

to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.

Warning - Make sure the power is off

before cleaning your fan.

You can apply a light coat of furniture pol-3.

ish to the wood for additional protection

and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches

with a light application of shoe polish.

There is no need to oil your fan.4.

The motor has permanently lubricated

sealed ball bearings.

MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX

BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE

SECTION, “MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.”

Check main and branch circuit fuses or breakers1.

Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in 2.

the switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.

Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.1.

Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub 2.

are tight.

Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or 3.

the interior wall of the switch housing.

CAUTION: Make sure power is off.

Allow a 24-hour “breaking in” period. Most noises associated with a 4.

new fan disappear during this time.

If using the Ceiling Fan light kit, make sure the screws securing the 5.

glassware are tight. Check that the light bulb is also secure.

Make sure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. 6.

It should not touch the ceiling.

Make sure your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used 7.

between the mounting bracket and outlet box.

Make sure pull chains are not vibrating against glass or housing.8.
